Sitemap & webmaster tools problem

Hi!

I am having little problem with opencart sitemap and google webmaster tools.
When I look my sitemap on webmaster tools it shows that that I asked indexing for 113 page and that google have indexed only 31 page.

If someone could help me with this I really would appreciate it!

- All the url’s on my sitemap returns response code 200, so that should not be the problem.
- Sitemap has been send to google over a month ago, so that should not be the problem
- I am using opencarts own sitemap so this is not some any third party module

One thing that I did notice while checking that sitemap is that it adds my products several times.
For excample lets assume I have product_A. This producs can be found on the sitemap on several urls:

http://www.domain.com/product_A
http://www.domain.com/category/product_A
http://www.domain.com/categoty/subcategory/product_A
http://www.domain.com/manufacturer/product_A

This might be the reason for the problem but WHY does that sitemap do it like that? If this is the reason is there some way I can remove unwanted urls (domain/product & domain/manufacturer/product) from the sitemap (without having to do it manually every time I have new products).

my robots.txt looks like this (in case that is the source of the problem):
User-agent: *
Disallow: /*&limit
Disallow: /*&sort
Disallow: /*?route=checkout/
Disallow: /*?route=account/
Disallow: /*?route=product/search
Disallow: /*?route=affiliate/

I have OC 1.5.4.1 installed with multi-store enabled. Same problem is with all the sites.

Those aren't unwanted URL's. Perhaps you just have that product referenced on more than one location.

Hi!

Thanks for the answer, I know that my products are located on these places:

http://www.domain.com/category/product_A
http://www.domain.com/categoty/subcategory/product_A
http://www.domain.com/manufacturer/product_A

And I suppose opencart adds products also on the domain root as I have not personally added then to there.

But back to my question.

When I look my sitemap on webmaster tools it shows that that I asked indexing for 113 page and that google have indexed only 31 page.

Why does it do that?

Because Google Indexes pages that actually are worth a damn...and matter I wouldn't worry about it.

Hello Guys

I have 583 pages submited but only 271 pages index.

Why this happen?
Can i index all of them or google do it by herself?

thanks
